And you call this a religion of peace?

Their brothers in the south east, aka Talibans of South East of Nigeria who are not practising religion of peace are not already doing all that?

Mercychen:
I think he needs that space to enable him think straight and get back on His feet as the girl will be a big distraction and a very big burden to him now that he's no longer financially capable of taking care of her.

Such is life.

I like the way you reframe the whole scenario, lol. It should up to the man to decide that, not the woman who is supposed to be around him in his trying time. Well done, you didn't disappoint

Idleness and free money.
When is Reno Omokri visiting Nigeria? I want to know on behalf of somebody

NotoriousBiggyS:
Those Arab are devil incarnate, northern Nigeria got those evil attitude from them

And you southerners wey dey use your fellows do lucrative money rituals, wey dey use your own teenage girls operate the ever booming baby factories, where una get your own Saint attitude from? Lol

FreedomArmy:
when people complain about something it is wisdom to look into it and make changes. From abuja to a place called otukpa in benue state,the number of road blocks and police/army check points is not up to 10( a journey of about 7 to 8 hours) but immediately you get to otukpa and start entering Enugu,you will see all Nigeria security forces on the road( army,civil defense,road safety,mobile police etc ) mounting road blocks at each one kilometer and you ask yourself why must it be so?

What a pity! Continue killing police officers and other security agents in their homes, stations, on their way to work or to outings and at check points and expect the presence of them to reduce. The more you kill them, the more you feel their presence breathing down your necks.

To make the matter worse,one of the signs that will make you know that you are now in Igbo land is that the pot holes becomes uncountable and you will literally be bouncing inside the bus due to the bad road and then security forces keep stop and searching and extorting our people. Even senator abaribe has made this complain in the floor of the senate and it seems they don't just want to hear it and make changes.

I remember having the same experience everyday in of the state capitals I reside in SW. No need to bring in the talk of marginalisation

Thinktwicemybro:
He should be in jail for economic fraud

Why is that? Care to explain the fraud part? Because, I knew a lot of people who didn't spend a kobo from their stipends but used it to launch themselves into something better.

Awoleesu:
For those who hastily countered, insulted or disagreed with the Prof. I think you need to review the excerpt above from his propounds.
The man is making a fine case of comparative economics - juxtaposing the local value vs cross border value of a currency, such that only guys with a sound knowledge of {macroeconomics) economics can appreciate.

Even in neighbouring African nations, whose economies appeared not as buoyant as ours, you'd see the Naira is undervalued there. Talk of exchange rates in Niger and Benin republics...

Appreciate what?? We're talking about 1 and 500! Why would anyone expect to be able to use 1 in USA to achieve what 500 is used to achieve in Nigeria? 1 vs 500, haba!

He said despite the downward trend, “Our naira is still very strong locally. With N500, an average Nigerian can still feed himself or herself today but when we look at N500 in terms of a dollar or a pound sterling equivalent, you can’t do anything with one pound on the street of London, you cannot buy anything meaningful with one dollar on the street of New York.

But how much work does one has to do in USA to get 1 dollar and how much do do in Nigeria to get N500?

FreeStuffsNG:
Wow!! Impressive. That's the power of purpose and unity.

I remember then how Osun state used to be the butt of jokes for states unable to pay its wages and HE Aregbesola convened a town hall meeting in Osogbo for every indigene of Osun to come and suggest how their state can solve the problem . Most of the resolutions and blessings they pronounced on their land those days are bearing fruits today.

Words are seeds, they bear fruits. Bless your land, bless your state, bless your country and the land will not deny you of its blessings.


Well done HE Gboyega Oyetola ( I remember how this simple unassuming quiet achiever was being mocked and hated because he had the backing of Asiwaju Tinubu then but see how he turned out to be better than the amiable dancing Senator )

May God continue to bless Osun state.
May God bless Nigeria.

My 15k is going to be part of this year's billions. They impounded my vehicle and asked me to pay 30k which was later reduced to 15k after the likes of commissioner for transport and PA to SA on works intervened. It is well

kcnwaigbo:
Lol very funny.We would soon find out if this is true. BTW thought process like yours is why the south is where there are today

You should direct your anger to PDP stakeholders because the guy said nothing but absolute truth

McAustin92:
Why Dem go dey mount Checkpoints everywhere, especially when it comes to South East and South South, why same shit not reciprocated in the North??

Fahdiga:
They will be mounting check points to extort the people

You ever been to the North to know that there are no police check points there?
Are there no police check points in SW too? Make una continue dey support criminality until it starts to bite your ass off

Definitely, PDP presidential ticket is going north despite all the useless meetings being held by the Southern governors' forum and useless agitation. We told una that there is no way PDP will zone its presidential ticket to South!

johnjay4u2u:
Thieves.
They should also probe the bank managers that grant such loans.

Thousands of young entrepreneurs go to same banks for loans and are rejected instantaneously.

That's why they are no more today, FIN, Intercontinental and bank phb

Thinktwicemybro:
See suffer just for 30k Even youth coppers earn more. Any youth interested in N-power is a lazy youth. They eat the meat and give you bones.

Really! Npower money could be a free money, you know. You don't have to be a lazy ass man to have been a beneficiary.
I knew a brother who was part of batch A. For all those months, over 40 months that he collected Npower money, he didn't spend it. He was simply dropping the money into his cooperative account and using the saving to obtain loans.

Aniukpeh:
I've done my Physical Verification and I have also uploaded my PPA Acceptance letter but it's still showing PENDING and RE-UPLOAD YOUR ACCEPTANCE LETTER on my Dashboard.

Please what do I do? I need a way forward. Thanks.

Display of "Re-upload your acceptance letter" is okay. But you have to go back for physical verification again so that your your fingerprint can be captured again and properly. It takes less than 5 minutes for PENDING to change to PASS

Nonexisting1:
So Npower is all you got for being an APC zombie? Shame

What did he get when he wasn't APC zombie? What did you get when you weren't APC zombie, Mr Wailer? At least, he has got something.

lajid:
So I’ve got some questions regarding this:

1) how do these scammers get the phone number and account details of people to the extent of calling them and requesting personal information.

Most times, it is hit or miss, mostly guess work. Sometimes, they would tell you from Bank A while you don't have account with that particular bank.

2) can the money be recovered, if yes what process does one need to follow. This is to educate people

No.

Kayberg:
That's measles.
Tell her to check her body and hands too.
Treat her ASAP to avoid stories that touches, but never, I repeat, never take any kind of injection to treat measles as it will make it worse.

Awon local doctors. Lol

I know that someone will come and say that it's as a result of hot cum traveling at a high speed making contact with her face."

Nairalanders sef.

But you just said it now. And you're a nairalander. Lol

Mynd44:
It actually helps people doing business with China. You can have your naira account here and then use such account to purchase your goods.

Since a lot of our imports are from there, it helps.

I await when our importers will look to China for second hand cars instead of Canada and America

It should come with loans with low interest rates as against almost 35% interest rate that those useless banks are charging. But when you have your money with them, even fixed deposits can't attract up to 10% interest.

Triangles1:
Who will die will die.
If you're to live you will live, all what you have to do is to live a good live and catch enough fun, don't live a boring live.

Does that mean you shouldn't protect yourself as much as possible? What a mentality!

socialmediaman:
If we don’t get this coronavirus under control, I just wonder how deadly it could get if the virus continues to mutate because of unvaccinated people.

More than 90% of Africans do not only lack access to the vaccines but also are not interested in the vaccines if it is plentifully available. The rate at which people are convincing each other not to take the vaccine is very alarming! Something needs to be done about the propaganda against the vaccine and be done fast!

More than 90 percent of Africans are still waiting for their first dose, he added, calling for a global vaccination plan to ensure that vaccines reach 70 percent of the world’s population in the first half of 2022.

LLiKYekoba:
Then shut your mouth and stop mouthing off about 'Southern unity'. Since the government is yours, why are angling to do another term in 2023. Greedy lots.

GEJ is reportedly involved now and suddenly you remember Southern Unity! Southern Unity kee u dia!

LLiKYekoba:
You yorubas cut your nose to spite your faces despite all the warnings other foresighted southerners gave you in 2015 about the nepotistic and irrendentist Fulani bigot called buhari.

You are only shouting for 'southern unity' because you expected the fulanis to share power equally with you but became disappointed because fulani bigots DO NOT SHARE POWER. You were used and dumped, now you are simply trying to return back to the southern fold like lost a puppy with its tails between its legs.

Until you apologize for your hate-propelled alliance with Fulani bigots against southern interest in 2015, we will continue to show you the tree you were carved from even if you think you are gods that do not apologize and accept your own faults.

Yorubas voted for Jonathan in 2015, what did they gain? Nothing!
You and your people turned him against sensible Yoruba voices and turned him into your pikin alone. You were shamed during his reelection bid and failed to move forward since then.
Yorubas have benefitted immensely from the Buhari's administration, even more than the combined administrations of Obj, Yaradua and Jona. I have benefitted from Buhari's administration more than all the past administrations combined together. Wailing is yours till Buhari exit in 2023 and till his successor exit too. That's your portion, what you wished and still wishing for.

FutureIsFemale:
[s] God is passing a message to Davido. He better do the needful. I'm not being tribalistic, but Igbo no be Yoruba.

R.I.P Fortune.

Dear Suntemi, God uses many means to pass His message depending on the content of His message. When the content is heavy, He uses death.

God used death to pass a message to the King of Egypt. (Their first sons died)
God used death to pass a message to David. (David's child died)
God used death to pass a message to Devil. (Job's children died)
God used death to pass a message to us. (Jesus died) [/s]

Cut the crap and shut the hell up!! We knew that nairaland boys could be irrational in their thinking but you my friend, a female for that matter took the madness to a whole new level

LLiKYekoba:
Na yoruba cause all these see finish. If they had been sensible in 2015, these marauding foolanis would have been kept permanently in their place as immigrant settlers in this country.

I will respond to your post first, then I will report you to the Mods.
Half of yoruba voters voted for Buhari while the remaining half voted for Atiku. The last time I checked, both are Fulanis and Atiku even has more cattle than Buhari. Lol.
Secondly, you and your people massively voted for Atiku, another Fulani with more cows than what Buhari has. Use your brain next before you comment.

Cashio:
whether the law is enforced or north, it is obvious that no Fulani bastard will come to the streets of major towns in the south east with cows and go free.
It has been several months since I last saw any Fulani animal with his brother cows on the streets of awka especially

mcbreeze:
This is a big question Southern Governors has not answered. How are they going to implement it? Not just passing anti-open gracing bill.

Fulani herdsmen dare them in Enugu when they were having meetings. Despite banning they pass through State assembly complex

Enugu is in what region again? Lol

ademidedavid:
My greetings nairalanders,
I am married for 10years now and blessed woth 3 wonderful kids but my woman is a bit difficult.

mrblessed:
The fact that she resumed her toxic behaviour at home is a clear pointer that you have endured rather enjoyed the 10-year marriage.

Mr Op, you have been told to stop enduring and start enjoying your marriage. It is like you don't even have peace of mind with your wife both inside and outside your home.

Karemarealty288:
His 1.8 can get him three plots of land at Epe. But he has to be very sure and carry out due diligence on any land he wants to buy.....

One of the reasons people need to stay away from land as investment. Slow yield with high risk!

1) he can farm on the land while he wait for the property to appreciate in price..which of course will.

2) can start marketing the land once he buys it and Will sure sell above with he bought it.

I don't know about uber or bolt .... all i know is that cars depreciates fast by the day.

It also brings in money everyday.

prophetfire:
This happened to a friend of mine many years ago. We were younger then and their father died. The little money the company he works for paid them, they said they want to build a house. I advised the eldest who was my friend to start a joint business with their mother instead of building a house, that the money was small. To cut the story short, the house hasn't been roofed up till today as the money wasn't enough. They are still battling with poverty with no sustainable means of income. Still struggling to pay rent and eat. Means of steady income that can be grown gradually first.

Learning the hard way.
The same way I advised a brother to save money and start a small business. Instead, he acquired a plot of land. And after some years, he saved enough to do foundation few months ago. On a monthly salary that is below 40k, how many years will it take him to complete that house?

BiggyB242:
Same advice I gave to someone very close, he carry over 1 million to get a land telling me he will sell it later. Something you would have used to start a business and grow it gradually.

People don't understand that buying land is not an investment, it is just an asset to keep your money safe and help preserve the value of your money due to inflation as against keeping it in bank.
You want your money to multiply rapidly, you should consider real investment

ReadaDream:
He has 1.8M~ and he still wants to take a loan?

Makes no sense. He can easily get a Naija used Corolla or Civic and still keep some change.

If he goes ahead to spend the 1.8m on building a house now, it’s only going to end up been an abandoned project and he’ll be frustrated more.

Advise your friend to get a sound Nigerian used car and start driving. Then he can start saving to build a house gradually.

His goal should be to buy another car, then another one and another one. I don't know why people rush to build crappy houses whenever they get small money instead of getting greedy with investments.
