It's actually a straight forward thing to achieve.
How
1. Modernize the law recreating Naira, as an internationally gold backed currency, and exchangeable currency.
2. Start selling Nigeria's crude oil in Naira. For a right thinking country, all her exports are in her currency which means foreign buyers must bring their currency to be the local currency. That is the demand that values the local currency. Currently Nigeria's crude is sold in USD for the benefit and valuation of United States of America and her Currency Dollar. How idiotic. (Europeans will never sell you anything in USD, but in Euros)

3. Fix the maximum spread banks can make in any currency trading both forward and reverse. Leave the banks to stock and trade foreign currencies. Central Bank should simply maintain two years import worth of foreign currencies for indirect market interventions and emergencies.

4. After 6 months stabilization, the naira would have appreciated to 200 to 300 to usd from the unleashing of federal Government demand for stockpiling USD for fraud. Then Redenominate the naira, to exchange for not more than 10 USD. Adjust workers wages and prune federal workforce for efficiency. Even small currencies including coins will comeback into value.

Ezekiel2122:
Can someone enlighten me why invasion of Ukraine is justifiable and why Ukraine being a sovereign country has no right to decided the body they want to be member of? This is something I don't understand at all. But there are elites on this platform with deeper knowledge.
Please no insult. I just want to learn

The conflict is not that simple. First Ukraine is not a mono ethnic block. It has various Russian speaking groups especially east (Donbas region) towards it sboarder with Russia, and the whole country use to be part if the USSR

Second, The real Ethnic Ukrainians were pro Nazi Germany during the second World war. They saw it as the opportunity to separate from Russia, so they worked with Hitler and actually comitted serious crimes in Poland. Coming back under USSR with Hitlers defeat was a huge yoke. That's why Poland sometimes gets cold feet helping Ukrainians, but its fear of Russia is greater.

The leadership of Ukraine since the break of USSR has been a patchwork of compromises in which Russia ensured to maintain a favourable person as leader. Now sometime during Obama era, they had an uprising and removed the elected Government and replaced with one sided Leadership. It's like Yoruba's in the west having a massive uprising when Federal Gov was in Lagos and sacking nationally elected Officials that were negotiated compromises, And replacing them with leaders with Yoruba Nationalist Ideology, and calling it a revolution as if everyone one on board. So even though the country is called Ukraine, Most people in it's eastern region are not ethnic Ukrainian. This led to years of crisis in which people in the East were asking for separation. Just like Igbos are seeking to separate from Nigeria.

Instead of finding common ground and making compromises, The Now Ukrainian Nationalist Government went hard, started banning Russian Language, Russian Culture, Sending troops to kill dissenters in the East. You must have heard of the Azov Battalion, a Nazi styled military formation that was torturing people in the East and was later encircled by Russian forces in the early days of the war.

That's the local side of the conflict. The international side of the conflict is that the whole of Europe is morbidly afraid of Russia. Russian Tzars have been historically expansionists, and were quite successful at it. Also Hitler was defeated primarily by Russia, not the US who fought an already waned German Military. So after loosing more than 20 million People USSR still had more people to figth. Some European countries are not up to 20 million. Under Obama, the US was designing a scheme to draw Russia into a third party war, 1- to expose Russian stockpile of new tech weapons. 2- Reduce significantly Russian eligible fighters. Why, because Russia is the only country in the world that can make US answerable. If you remember when US wanted to remove Asad of Syria, Russia and China moved warships into Syrian ports and US cancelled the invasion.same thing USSR proposed to Ojukwu for Lagos port, and he declined. China mind you is an economic power, but untested military in mechanized warfare. Infact if Russia was not engaged in Ukraine Trump will not attack Iran directly.

So US (Obama and Biden) was behind the rise of the Ukrainian Nationalist Government . Initially Obama and Angela Merkel negotiated a compromise with Putin. Only for Putin to later learn that the compromise was to get time and Arm Ukraine. So the height of the crisis was the Ukrainians being so carried away by the US and European support that they started talking of Joining NATO. Joining NATO means US can host Nuclear missiles in Ukraine. The short distance to Russia, means US can deliver missile into Russia without needing ballistics projectiles. Meaning Russia will not know when such missiles are launched. For context, USA, France and UK, vs Russia, China and North Korea have more than 3000 nuclear missiles pointed at each other at every moment in time. The only comfort is that they need ballistic missiles to reach each other. One you launch ballistic missiles satellites in space will see it, and other countries will respond before it even gets to its destination. That's the famous MAD mutually assured destruction. If any of the countries launches one nuclear missile, the after math is that these six countries will totally destroy each other. But with US in Ukraine and Russia in Cuba. Such missiles will not be detected before impact. That's why Trump is attacking Cuba and Putin is fighting in Ukraine, to ensure maximum distance from any US military facility from Russian boarder.

None, all mirror positions have blind spots. Drivers need to understand that, so your question is flawed. But here C gives the best view.

The Professor fraud that has filled Nigerian Academic Political space.

The truth is that Professor is the Highest academic rank in British Academic system which Nigeria runs or copied. It's not the same in American System and Many other countries. In the American System a graduate assistant is an Assistant Professor, A junior Lecturer is a Professor.

American Professor is equivalent to Nigerian term Lecturer.

The fraud, since Obsanjo's era, Almost all VCs in Nigerian Universities abuse their powers by inviting their Chronies from US universities back home and giving them huge appointments as Professors. It's very very common in places like UNN, with the likes of Professor Nebo, the disgraced power Minister.

It's a shame that Nigerian academics including ASUU cannot establish their own ranking equivalence, I wonder what kind of peer reviewed research these so called Professors are engaged in when they cannot even establish who their peers are.

For the avoidance of doubts, The equivalent of a Full Professor in the American System is an Endowed Chair (also called Distinguished Professor). This Highest Academic Title is far more rare in the American system than in the cupboard Professors without Industry relevance that Nigerian Universities are filled with.

Why, Nigerian system Professors are appointed in process tainted with internal politics. INEC has further worsened it by using tainted VCs as returning officers. Every politician is grooming a would be professor in his nearest Federal University.

In the American System, An Endowed Chair sits on an Industry or Charity funded Research Pool. That rank is not just a mark of academic prowess, but also Industry Prowess and Recognition. It is the Chair that recruits and Pay Graduate Research fellows. So you can understand the kind of fund in question. You cannot sit on a fund if your research work cannot sustain the fund and the interest of the fund donors.


Any Nigerian you see that tells you an American University made him a Nigerian equivalent Professor, and he still had a reason to leave the position for a Nigerian position is a Fraudster. This includes the Fraudster from Ebonyi state that Umahi was hoping to put as UNIZIK VC for manipulating Ebonyi state Elections. ASUU must insist that Academics are left out of Elections or these frauds will keep deepening at Geometric pace.

I was just discussing with AI the best way to legally challenge and get rid of the 1999 constitution , or rather Imposition. Laws of the land cannot be tenets no one ever discussed or agreed to. We need to start challenging the legality of all decrees and impositions by the military. Revert back at least to the last legal constitution. Even if that means reverting to regions and suspending all these unsustainable states.

Jd10k:
I borrowed money but I didn't spend it but I kept in a Bank for the incoming Government to pay back with interest.
interestingly I don't know the rational for someone to access an interest yielding loan but kept it in a Bank.

You comprehension is problematic. Obi never stated anywhere that he borrowed money and did not spend it. He only was only talking about the liquid asset he left being more the the Federal Government mandated Loan exposure.

Kukutente23:
Well, if you met $18m and left $30m debt that means you still took loans

But beyond that, Soludo is just a bumbling idiot. Obi so is miles better than him as gov. He left savings in the state that generations of Anambra people should benefit from

A certain master strategist simply taxed his people to stupor and looted their taxes

I suppose you could not read where he said all the loans being listed by soludo are Federal Government Loans which Federal Government appoints states for Execution and subsequent repayment. But beyond the 30m USD Federal Loan exposure to Anambra state, he left at least 150m USD in the coffers which was 5 times the Federal Loan Exposure.

OP post has no insight. Trump just made the petrol Dollar Economy Relevant again. So crude is not suddenly going irrelevant. Rather the ongoing wars and what comes after will make crude even more in demand as US is investing in more control of oil resources seeing as it cannot beat China in trade.

On the local front, what is 3% of an asset if you are really looking for funds for expansion. That's irrelevant, so the story that Dangote is selling to fund expansion is a lie.

The real game here is risk management. Refinery is a good business is you have access to crude. If you do not it sucks to buy crude at market prices before factory refining margins. That's why most refineries are owned by large oil producing companies. Dangote depends on Government to get crude oil. That Government is about to change with 2027 Election. Dangote felt enormous pressure and change between his Brother Buhari's crude assurance and Bola Ahmed Tinubus negotiated settlement, where rivals like Wale Tinubu , friends like otedola had major roles. He is selling to Nigerians to gain a public shield against being Torpedoed by a new Government. Howbeit it us a very thin or almost inconsequential shield at 3% public ownership, thinned out to give everyone some inconsequential stake to protect the Company via ownership sentiments against a possibly hostile Nigerian President, who might have been torpedoed by Dangite recently himself. Its all about Nigerian Politics, you might make money at it, but its not likely going to be any sort of loss because he is keeping the bulk of the company private, unless there is a definitive political will to drown the ship.

The truth is that Nigerian companies do not have sufficient regulatory oversight to be called stock investments. The major share holders are not looking to make money from dividends. They control the executive, own companies servicing the company at inflated service rates. All their living costs, leisures and etc are passed off as running cost of the company. Can you Imagine a situation where a logistics company is making 3 times the profit of their sole Client company from same business. For banks, they invest for unrestricted credit line to fund their main businesses from depositors funds at special interest rates. It'd only someone who has no idea what goes on inside these companies that buys their shares ignorantly, and not for Leaverage.

In the particular case if dangote, He is just selling risk, not the refinery. He is diversifying his risk. First he builds a 6 to 8 billion USD refinery for twice the cost. Inflates it to 20 Billion USD to the public. After Buhari, He realises the refinery cannot function without crude from whoever is Nigeria's President. That's a huge risk he should have forseen. And the only way to manage this risk is to diversify ownership among the political Elites, which he has done. The public IPO is just the PR. He has reduced his political exposure drastically. You that is buying should understand the risk. The risk profile is parallel to Nigerian Politics and Niger Delta oil Production risks.

Even if the Engineer is not quack, go to market and see the new size of 12mm and 10mm iron rods for rebars. They passed through customs and SON. Will you manufacture your own rebars just to build a house.

Go to electrical, aluminium wires are now being painted with copper and sold as copper wires. Not even the usual impure copper.

That's what happens when a man devalues the currency for every one because he knows best, without any proper educations on economics.

DECC:
Very correct ....it is HPylori...

H. Pylori is a bacteria that has been made more popular by proton pump inhibitors or omeprazole. When you stomach stops producing acid due to omeprazole H.Pylori tries and you keep figthing a losing battle with antibiotics.

Do not focus first on H. Pylori. Rather on healing the ulcer wound, with strong antioxidants. Raw or slightly boilled Beet Roots Juice will heal your ulcer in two weeks, you can then kill off excess H.pylori with antibiotics. But I doubt the OPs problem is merely ulcer, he might have a Leaky Gut though.

Ojuju1:
Please moderator, I will be happy if you can move this to front page to enable me get solution that I have been desiring for the past years.

I have been experiencing moving objects from my head to my feet for over 15yrs now. For the past 15 years I have visited hospitals, done tests, scan, prayed, fasted and taken herbals but all to no avail.

The last test i went for, I was told that I had stomach ulcers. Which I have taken the medication prescribed for me but no improvement.

The symptoms include feeling as if a living being is moving inside my stomach, terrible stomach pains, worm-like movement on my head, feet even in my scrotum, I find it hard to stand for a very long time because I will be feeling pains on my legs.

Please, if anyone has experienced such or has someone that has gone through such should kindly recommend the best solution that will help me be free from this torment that has made life unbearable to me.

Am not a Doctor, but Doctor's can't help you cause they believe its psychological.

You can't really get a definitive directive. But I will state things you should check and eliminate.

First is parasites- there are different parasite with different treatments. Some you cannot kill with any known drug. So you need to study about helminths, liver flukes and most especially filaria worms. Look at their symptons and if any matches treat it. If you have access overseas you can go for parasite identification tests. Most worms will die from Albendazole and Mabendazole. But filaria worms can't be killed by any known drug. But their is a drug called ivermectin or mectizin. It paralyses a broad range of worms but does not kill them. The only way to use it against filaria worms is to take it daily about four tablets a day for about three months, and starve the worms to death while they are paralysed. But the caveat is that ivermectin can harm the liver. So becareful ,do not do if your liver is not healthy from lab tests. stop if you notice any liver related signs or if you know your liver us bad.
You need patience as it will take months. First try albenazole and ivermectin. You will know if you are getting relief. Read the dosage on the albendazole, and give the required gap before repeating it. But invermectin you can do for 3 months if your liver is okay.

When you have done 3 courses of albendazole(best is zentel, kind of costly, first treatment use zentel, subsequent you can try emzor) over 5 days with 2 weeks interval in between. You know you have eliminated most common round worms but not filaria worms if present. Then turn to tape worm. Treatment is with praziquentel. Do several courses of treatment with required interval. Please note that most Doctors are taught in school that tape worm only live in the stomach. That's a lie. Tape worm larve migrate allover the body including into the brain. They stay wherever and cause problems cause they can only grow into adults in the stomach. There is also a roundworm that does something similar but calcified after causing you muscle aches for months. I forgot to mention that Wormin is the trade name of Mabendazole. If you take it more than the stated days your stomach upset will be something else.

There are also liver flukes, but I do not remember the drug for the. Check online. You continue ivermectin while treating these other parasites one by one.

For filaria worms and tape worms, there is an experimental drug called Emodepside. The development is kind of stalled so its not available for human use. But you can get a vetinary formulation called profender. Only do this if you are sure you have filaria worms based on symptons. You need to study them to tell which one as there are several.


That's it on parasite front. Do entirly at your own risk, am taking any form of responsibility or providing any assurance.

Now the second front that can be responsible is fungal infection. Two places to look at is internal and on your skin. Fungal infection have only two drugs, one is flucaonzole. The other is an injection which only a Doctor can give you as it requires constant monitoring. Take repeated treatment based on the dosage on the pamphlet. Space out fungal treatment from parasitic treatments to avoid roasting your liver. But do the fungal treatment early on.

For the skin version. Change your bedding, mattresses. Fumigate with liquid insecticide. After that soak you beddings with vinegar. Vinegar kills fungai easily. Repeat severally, like monthly.

After taking your bath clean your scalp with 5% vinegar. Once in two months you can clean your whole body. Mind you vinegar on your skin quickly absorbs into you body. It can wipe off all your digestive microbes and you start having problems digesting food. So put it on fast, by the time you are done with your whole body wait just 10 seconds or less and wash it all off in an overflowing shower with abundant water.


Third front. Nerves
Problems Vitamin B12 can lead your nerves firing is different directions. You can go test you B12 levels or you can try supplementing B12 and see how it goes. Too much B12 is a problem and will cause fatigue. Also too little is also a problem and will cause fatigue. So if you take B12 and you are start feeling weak stop. Or if you take it and initially feel better but later feel fatigue, the take it like once in a month or two. Do not use Cyannacobalamine, it has cyanide and can become a problem. Rather use methylcobalammine. It's costlier and only big pharmacies carry it. Do not start with B12 that combines folic acid. You can try those later when you understand how you body responds to it.

Your most effective tool here is ivermectin. It will paralyze anything even malaria parasites, but it does not kill anything. So do not abuse it, but you can have it handy for bad days. It can harm not just liver but mitochondria related metabolism.


But the first Question I should have asked is what is your line of work? Are you a field person that comes in contact with unknown forest or Bush insects. You need to understand that same way mosquitos carry plasmodium parasites. There are at least 20 or more other insects that carry parasites deadlier than plasmodium. Do not ever let insects perch on you and think it's harmless. Especially insects that breed in stagnant ponds. Once they are too tiny to identify we call them sandfly. They are plenty, tse tse fly, black fly, deer fly, mutu mutu etc. Anything sucking your blood is passing something to you. Some of the things they pass to you are unknown to western medicine, that's why they refer to them as Neglected tropical diseases. They are primarily in West Central Africa and Amazon first of South America. A few originate from tropical Asia

States and local government are not get more money. They are not getting more value, rather what they used to get is now denominated in smaller units, so for same value of money the nominal numbers is higher.

So where is the 10 billion USD from subsidy savings? That's enough to build a brand new refinery. Refine our own crude.

achorladey:
A lot of words with no definite answer 😂🤣😂🤣

Yes that's how deep the greed and theft being perpertuated and convienently compartmentalised as subsidy corruption runs. It takes a lot of words to described genetically ingrained theives.

achorladey:
Simple question for you

What do you think is the major incentive behind the actions of those who sabotage Nigeria's refinery?

It is the same incentive behind those embezzling money allocated to military to fight insecurity, or the same incentive as the policemen routinely on the road extorting motorist. Or Government executives borrowing trillions that get spent on unappropriated and un-tendered projects while paying non- living wages to the civil service, fuelling even more corruption and theft among the rank and file of a bloated civil service. Same incentive that drives the office of the secretary of the Government to be creating and awarding finding for institutions and bodies unknown to law. Its also the same incentive that drives a headsman to acquire Ak47 automatic weapon, kidnapp lonely farm women in their farms and demand ransome payment.

A society whose honour culture has been eroded by colonial interjections and lacks a definitive sense of ownership is a noman's land left for the picking by any and every shade of criminal, some disguised as statesmen, others as business executive and others as outright armed robbers. Greed and covetousness loves weak institutions, unaccountable laws, selective justice and ethnically prejudiced executors, electorates and judiciary. You cannot solve these by simply privatising the police, neither do you solve it by removing subsidy. Criminals simply move to new lounge spots.

nairalanda1:
It did. Once there is free money, people would do tings like sabotage to bring in more free money. Subsidy guaranteed free government money that was not enough to keep the refineries running, but was enough to be looted and stolen.

Subsidy meant that there was free money being paid, regardless of whether the refinereies were producing or not. So, some sabo would break things deliberately to attract even more free money

If there was no subsidy, ya think such sabotage would be tolerated? When the earnings of everyone is at stake...and crucially...government is not there to provide any free money?

See the issue?

Let's put it in more formal language, shall we?

You are just yapping on. Nigeria is not the first country to run government corporation. Russia, China, Iran India, Brazil, Kazakstan etc all run Government owned Refineries. They are not overrun by kleptomaniacs. Subsidising fuel is a totally different policy system from Running a Public Refinery. You keep lumping the two together as if you are the only people in the world to ever have a public owned Refinery. Fuel subsidy is not the reason for the Demis of Nigeria's Refinery, rather endemic ethnically protected kleptomaniacs are. Removing or keeping fuel subsidy has no impact on kleptomaniacs. They simply find a new target for their theft.

nairalanda1:
All you have just done is describe how subsidy wrecked the nigerian refineries.

Having corrupt people wreck the refineries attracted more free money that could be looted.

If there was no subsidy, there would have been no free money.

That would have made what you have outlined impractical as it would have caused the same corrupt people to lose money.

Stop describing systems you have no idea of how they actually operate. The corruption has nothing to do with subsidy, and predates subsidy. Subsidy came into effect when refineries were already dying, and Nigeria now had to import.

I might vote Atiku for this fuel subsidy reversal plan. Peter Obi should stop running his mouth without knowing what's actually wrong in the oil industry.

nairalanda1:
Well bringing in a subsidy would do the opposite of what you want.

See the electricity sector. A subsidy has been maintained on the electricity sector for decades, the APC government won't remove it at all...and the result is a sector that can barely manage to produce up to a third of the electricity NIgeria needs.

A subsidy on fuel would end the ability of the sector to make a profit, and lead to its downfall. That is what happened with the NNPC refineres. They were prevented from making a profit in the name of subsidy, and as a result could not fund running, expansion and upgrade costs at all atall, and whatever money was made from periodic partial removals of subsidy was spent on government bonanza projects. Result, we lost domestic refining and ended up throwing away foreign exchange...importing fuel AND subsidizing it.

If you want a subsidy, either do as they do in saner climes and pay the tax for it, or forget about it. Nothing in this world runs witout it making enough money. People want to be paid.

This is purely lie. Subsidy did not kill Refineries. Nigerian Refineries were destroyed by some of the same people parading themselves as oil Moguls. They routinely bribed corrupt staff to poison the Refineries Catalytic converter. If you are familiar with refinery operation you know significant impurities in the FCC catalyst kills the cracking process. The Refinery ends up doing only atmospheric distillation which only distillation about 40 % of the crude and leaves the 60% as base oil. Very few factories use base oil in Nigeria. Once the base oil accumulates, they go to Abuja and lobby for a contract to evacuate the base oil at give away prices because the refinery needs space. Its essentially as good as getting free crude oil. The base oil they will export and sell to Old European Refineries that refine only base oil because of there age. Some of these culprits even now own some of those old European Refineries.


The only solution to corruption in Nigeria is to disband the country, so that each group will hold its nationals accountable instead of years of negatives protected by ethnic sentiments.

Sheuns:
4.5bn under Buhari was $10,000,000

16bn under Tinubu is $12,307,693

That’s just a little over $2M increase.

Bro, that's even generous its actually 11.8 million USD vs Buhari's 10 million USD. And you have not accounted for the usual 3% annual inflation in USD especially with US at war. That's almost 19% inflation between 2020 and today. Meaning Buhari's 10 million USD 2020 is now worth 11.940 million USD 2026
There is absolutely no increase in the allocation, merely currency devaluation.


That's the kind of financially illiterate Governors you have in Nigeria. Another Monday Okpooblo claiming genius.

tallfish145:
Please health experts in the house should explain the meaning of 5.5mol in sugar test means. Thanks

This test only checked instant amount of blood sugar. It does not tell you much about the state of your sugar management system. If this test is high you are already damaged. Like the system is already beyond repair like 1000% damaged.
So best is go for test called Hb1C, it tells you how high your sugar has been in the last 3 months.

Or if you can find the facility go for direct Fasting Insulin level test. That is what tells you if you are developing high Insulin which leads to high blood sugar and diabetes.

Better still, remove all sugars and carbs(garri, rice) and go on heavy endurance workout. ( means long duration and heavy instant) in next 2 months. You can become a meat and legume eater instead.

- Temitope Ajayi is Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Media and Publicity

Look at these demons in corridors of power.

What clerical PRIVILEGE?
The President is a public servant, everything he says or does is for the public.
The Cardinals and Bishops did not visit him in hiding, why should they hide his utterances?

If the President knows that his words are stupid or foolish, he should have refrained from uttering them instead of expecting clerics to hide his dirty linens.

The whole country is suffering your smartless policies since 2023, you keep telling yourself your are doing well while feeding fat from the public purse.

Lol. OK let me give you guys a good way to shut up these South African dumb fellows.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs should draw together documents from reports made to South African Authorities on the death of several Nigerians and linking them to the so called March and March movement, and all their other zulufoolish movements. The major ones though.

Nigerian Intelligence should then open an investigation on the March and March and the other one led by one guy that looks like Zinjathropus.

Issue an interpol arrest warrant through Nigerian courts for Jacinta Zuma and the Zinjathropus Man, plus any other prominent leader of these violence acts, for Murder, intimidation, terrorits threats and organized crime. Totally ignore South African Authorities while doing it. Once done, those two will never travel outside South Africa ever again. Do not worry about which countries will implement the arrest. They too do not know and will rather play safe and stay put in South Africa.

Further, form a working group with Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi etc forget African Union. Issue a multi-national arrest warrant for any South African Government official or politician that openly advocates for these xenophobic violence outside of the stipulations of South African law and the Human Rights Charter of UN. If they visit any small country like Malawi which South Africa can Intimidate, make sure you have a ready jet and fast judicial process to transfer them to Nigeria for proper trial

Ignore all communications from South African Government once you make any targeted arrest. Sameway they play comatose and allow non state actors to be killing and intimidating foreigners . When done, South African Govt. Officials, Ministers without diplomatic passport will fear to leave South Africa. Trump will also be very happy to make a few arrest of those indirectly killing white farmers, and pretending they are more righteous than Isreal.

Case Closed. No diplomatic row. Just ignoring communications.

Some flights from South Africa needs to land and Refuel when trying to reach Europe or US. Such transits with good intelligence tracking are perfect for arresting their Government officials. They will start doing direct flights only. Apart from that, their former enemies such as UK, and Netherlands ( Dutch) will be very happy to honour a multi national arrest warrant in order to set an example for government accountability on illegal use of mob violence for political agenda.

GloriousGbola:
this is actually why i use my own router rather than that provided by the telcos

with your own router you can manage access to your network , identify strangers and block anyone in the family who continues to abuse data or misbehaves

It's the same thing. My own neighbourhood villain hacks into my MTN, Airtel and Third party Chinese router. As long as its using the classic security protocol, it will be hacked in minutes. Only latest phones (like 2025) etc run the newer more secure communication protocol. And yes telcos should upgrade their routers but they will be citing backward compatibility and support for legacy devices.

QuantAnalyst:
Hmm. This goes beyond money. Its a security risk. They are hiding behind your ISP to commit fraud.

Just like someone using your sim to make calls and scam people.

Hacking WiFi is very very easy. No need for sim or something complicated. Just one app from the dark Web. Read my addition to the post and you will understand. The security protocol is faulty. I believe it has been upgraded but only very recent devices will be running the new protocol.

My own is one idiot in my neighbourhood will use an app to hack and use up my data. He does this consistently. I have now switched off wireless, and use only wired ethernet connection.

The man should check if he has a yahooboy/man/monkey as neighbour. The idiots are rich but can't buy data. Will rather buy the latest Russian update to hack and use yours.


Hacking WiFi is surprisingly easy. Last I investigated. There is an app that first identifies your WiFi and connected devices especially if you leave the WiFi visible. It then starts broadcasting gibberish to block any device already connected. Your legit device will disconnect and try to reconnect. It will then keep your router busy, and start posing as your router. Your previously connected device will end up giving it the password while trying to reconnect. Boom, it goes off, then use the password to connect to your WiFi router, further it adjusts router settings and will not appear on your list of connected devices.

If your router data is finishing fast, disable wireless connection to your TV . Go and buy a long ethernet cable or make one.

This burial expenses in Igbo land is crippling people. Mortuaries are filled to the brim with dead bodies waiting for when relatives get money to meet up with the outrageous demands of several Igbo groups.

It's time the state governors met to abolish this backward tradition of making people bleed to bury their people.

Which Burial Expense in Igboland are you talking about? The OP spoke about his village in Imo State. You have left his village Left his state and now generalising about 7 states with Igbo speaking people, Isn't that outrightly stupiid.

Maybe a few villages in his area have listed demands for burial. At least 90% of Igbo people do not have a list of demands for burial.
In Igbo worldview, a burial is not a grieving occasion, rather a celebration of accomplishments. Especially if the person is well aged. It's left to you to host the burial according to your own means, nobody gives you any list of demands in most places. At most you buy palm wine for the grave diggers.

In Anambra demands flow in not outwards. If your mother inlaw dies, you are expected to go to her funeral with a cow gift. Which if you cannot afford you simply put some money in an envelope and put a cow rope on it to signify that you are mindful that she is worth a cow gift. All the families that your dead father or mother attended their own funeral will come for his or her own funeral with equivalent gifts to what your parents gave them. These gifts accumulate to cushion the cost of the funeral. Gift given at a funeral is seen as a debt to be repaid to your own children at your own death. In olden days these gifts are enough to fund the funeral. Today people choose themselves to go to extraordinary lengths to impress onlookers and build a reputation of being wealthy. Nobody forces you to host lavish events. Nobody will condemn you to host according to your means. But you must host people to announce the passing of your loved one,
1. So that their spirit rests in peace
2. So that spirits do not take their form and continue living as him or her somewhere else.

That funeral event is like a newspaper announcement to prevent dead loved ones spiritual identity being stolen and reperpertuated as living. This is the belief behind Igbo celebration of death. A spirit of a dead person who is did not get a funeral is expected to keep reappearing.

Not just the village ...church is also involved in this extortion...not pentecostal ooo.. Catholic and Anglican... they will request for the tithe , the late person dint pay all thru their lifetime in their church. Even if u tell them the person paid tithe in another branch of the church, they wudnt accept it....the will request for levies the person dint pay , the donations the person dint donate...if u dont do it ,the church will not bury the person ...

Village and church demands gulps millions of naira ...some 5m some 7m depending on their demands ... the richer the person was, or if there is a rich member in the family , the more demands ... tgey will charge for meetings the late person failed to attend and also add the children fees that failed to attend meetings...

Liar, Catholic Church does not collect or recognize Tithe

Here is a Leader of the Future. After joining blood gangs they brand cult in INSU because he has no interest in learning, he will turn into a political Thug. Then become a Governor through Thuggery and start making policies by which sane people must abide, through ignorance and gangster sensibilities. Edo State is a perfect example of how it rolls.


6334 system is faulty. This person only needs a to year certificate to start earning an income via skills.

While I have reservations about the process of Givernment decisions without expert and community consultations in this administration. Your 6334 system is fundamentally flawed. That id why today you have millions of quarter backed would be managers and few blue collar workers i. A country that aims for industralization.

6334 plans to start chunning out blue collar workers at JSS3. Let's even forget the fact that their are zero provisions for specialised skills at secondary schools, how matured are kids at JSS3 for us to be looking at them to make career decisions.

Its diemphasization of high school and diploma means every body is heading to University after secondary school, otherwise you become an aberration. Graduate studies is meant to train designers and managers. If everybody is a designer or manager, who then will do the actual work?
If everybody is aspiring to be designers and managers because the system is skewed to look down on operators, fabricators technicians, then all your attempts at industrialization become stagnated. Even if designers make a good plan no one can produce it.


This is why so many graduates are unemployed. Many employed ones cannot accomplish the things they were employed to do. Take a typical Engineering class in any University. About 200 students per class in the minimum. The lecturer cannot teach them talkless of tracking their learning. They graduate and the reality for 90% of them is bike riding or keke. For 200 Engineers, there should be at least 4000 Lath operators, CNC machine operators, welders, foundry workers, Fitters , Electricians, heavy machine drivers, etc. ANY TECHNICIAN you see in Nigeria today, was trained in an informal setting either by work and learn or through apprenticeship. They cannot adapt to changes and new tasks outside of what they have experienced because they do not have good grounding. This is why your mechanic is still using guesswork and carburettors engine symptoms to diagnose your 2010 car with full range sensors, OBD ports and Electronic Ignition.

70 to 80% of secondary school leavers must be headed to blue collar careers not white collar office. Irrespective of your career choice, everybody should be getting roughly same remuneration for same level of experience and effort. A medical Doctor and an Electrician with 10 years experience should have roughly equal pay. A Teacher of 10 years and a 4 year Industry Trained and qualified Engineer in the Oil industry should have roughly equal pay. But how do you explain these to a president who thinks there is a fair exchange rate determined by the market, composed of other countries fighting for dominance and advantages.
